The men's Greco-Roman featherweight competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London took place from 3 August to 6 August at the Empress Hall, Earls Court Exhibition Centre.

[1] Featherweight was the third-lightest category, including wrestlers weighing 57 to 62 kilograms (125.7 to 136.7 lb).

[2] This Greco-Roman wrestling competition continued to use the "bad points" elimination system introduced at the 1928 Summer Olympics for Greco-Roman and at the 1932 Summer Olympics for freestyle wrestling, with the slight modification introduced in 1936.

[3] Of the three remaining wrestlers, Oktav had previously defeated Anderberg but Tóth had faced neither.

With two men who had already faced each left, previous head-to-head results were decisive and Oktav received the gold medal.
